The Weirdo lying on the ground lifted his head to look at Xuexue and said, "That's right, the real Imperial Mausoleum is right here. On the day of the funeral, what everyone saw was a fake Imperial Mausoleum."
Xuexue froze for a moment—whether in her past life or this one, she had never heard of such a thing—so she asked, "Senior, what on earth is going on?"
A fake Imperial Mausoleum, and they still made such a grand show of the funeral—who was the Emperor putting on that act for!
The Weirdo lay prone on the ground, speaking slowly and evenly: "Of course you don't know. This is a secret within the Imperial Family. An ancestor of the Imperial Family—no one even remembers which generation—was terrified that after he died, someone would dig up his grave, leaving him restless even in death. So he came up with this clever scheme: the tombs that are buried out in the open are all fake, with fake corpses. It's all to throw people off the scent, so the real remains can rest in peace."
